General Why reactive energy
management?
Principle of reactive energy management

All AC electrical networks consume two types of power: active power (kW) and
reactive power (kVAr):
bb The active power P (in kW) is the real power transmitted to loads such as motors,
lamps, heaters, computers, etc. The electrical active power is transformed into
mechanical power, heat or light.
bb The reactive power Q (in kVAr) is used only to power the magnetic circuits
of machines, motors and transformers.
The apparent power S (in kVA) is the vector combination of active and
reactive power.
The circulation of reactive power in the electrical network has major technical and
economic consequences. For the same active power P, a higher reactive power

the Power Factor (P/S) is equal
means a higher apparent power, and thus a higher current must be supplied.
to cos φ. The circulation of active power over time results in active energy (in kWh).
The circulation of reactive power over time results in reactive energy (kvarh).
In an electrical circuit, the reactive energy is supplied in addition to the active energy.

General Advantages of reactive
energy management
Benefits of reactive energy management

Optimized reactive energy management brings economic and technical
advantages as follows:
Savings on the electricity bill

> Eliminating penalties on reactive energy and
decreasing kVA demand.
> Reducing power losses generated in the
transformers and conductors of the installation.
Example:
Loss reduction in a 630 kVA transformer PW =
6,500 W with an initial Power Factor = 0.7.
With power factor correction, we obtain a final
Power Factor = 0.98.
The losses become: 3,316 W, i.e. a reduction
of 49%.
Increasing available power Power Increased

A high power factor optimizes an electrical factor available
installation by allowing better use of the power
components. The power available at the secondary 0.7 0%
of a MV/LV transformer can therefore be increased 0.8 + 14%
by fitting power factor correction equipment on the 0.85 + 21%
low voltage side. 0.90 + 28%
The table opposite shows the increased available 0.95 + 36%
power at the transformer output through 1 + 43%
improvement of the Power Factor from 0.7 to 1.
Reducing installation size Power Increased

Installing power factor correction equipment allows factor available
conductor cross-section to be reduced, since less power
current is absorbed by the compensated installation

The opposite table shows the multiplying factor for 0.60 1.67
the conductor cross-section with different power 0.40 2.50
factor values.
Reducing voltage drops in the

installation
Installing capacitors allows voltage drops to be
reduced upstream of the point where the power
factor correction device is connected.
This prevents overloading of the network and
reduces harmonics, so that you will not have
to overrate your installation.
PFCED310004EN 11
General Method for determining
compensation
The selection of Power Factor Correction equipment should follow the following
4-step process and must be done by any people having the relevant skills:
bb Step 1: Calculation of the required reactive power.
bb Step 2: Selection of the compensation mode:
vv Central, for the complete installation
vv By sector
vv For individual loads, such as large motors.
bb Step 3: Selection of the compensation type:
vv Fixed, by connection of a fixed-value capacitor bank;
vv Automatic, by connection of a different number of steps, allowing adjustment
of the reactive energy to the required value;
vv Dynamic, for compensation of highly fluctuating loads.
bb Step 4: Allowance for operating conditions and harmonics.
Step 1: Calculation of the required reactive power

The objective is to determine the required reactive power Qc (kvar) to be installed,
in order to improve the power factor cos φ and reduce the apparent power S.
For φ’ < φ, we obtain: cos φ’ > cos φ and tan φ’ < tan φ.
This is illustrated in the diagram opposite.
Qc can be determined from the formula Qc = P. (tan φ - tan φ‘), which is deduced
from the diagram.
Qc = power of the capacitor bank in kVAr.
P = active power of the load in kW.
tan φ = tangent of phase shift angle before compensation.
Fig. 5 tan φ’ = tangent of phase shift angle after compensation.
The parameters φ and tan φ can be obtained from billing data, or from direct
measurement in the installation.
The following table can be used for direct determination.

Example:
consider a 1000 kW motor with cos φ = 0.8 (tan φ = 0.75).
In order to obtain cos φ = 0.95, it is necessary to install a capacitor bank with a
reactive power equal to k x P, i.e.: Qc = 0.42 x 1000 = 420 kvar.

compensation
Step 2: Selection of the compensation mode

Supply Bus
The location of low-voltage capacitors in an installation constitutes the mode of
compensation, which may be central (one location for the entire installation), by
sector (section-by-section), at load level, or some combination of the latter two.
In principle, the ideal compensation is applied at a point of consumption and at
Transformer the level required at any moment in time.
In practice, technical and economic factors govern the choice.
The location for connection of capacitor banks in the electrical network is
Circuit breaker
determined by:
bb the overall objective (avoid penalties on reactive energy relieve transformer or
cables, avoid voltage drops and sags)
CC bb the operating mode (stable or fluctuating loads)
bb the foreseeable influence of capacitors on the network characteristics
bb the installation cost.
GC GC Central compensation
The capacitor bank is connected at the head of the installation to be compensated
IC IC IC IC in order to provide reactive energy for the whole installation.
This configuration is convenient for a stable and continuous load factor.
M M M M Group compensation (by sector)
The capacitor bank is connected at the head of the feeders supplying one particular
sector to be compensated. This configuration is convenient for a large installation,
CC: Central Compensation with workshops having different load factors.
GC: Group Compensation
IC: Individual Compensation Compensation of individual loads
M: Motor Load
The capacitor bank is connected right at the inductive load terminals (especially
Fig. 6
large motors). This configuration is very appropriate when the load power is
significant compared to the subscribed power.
This is the ideal technical configuration, as the reactive energy is produced
exactly where it is needed, and adjusted to the demand.

compensation
Step 3: Selection of the compensation type

Different types of compensation should be adopted depending on the performance
requirements and complexity of control:
bb Fixed, by connection of a fixed-value capacitor bank
bb Automatic, by connection of a different number of steps, allowing adjustment
of the reactive energy to the required value
bb Dynamic, for compensation of highly fluctuating loads.
Fixed compensation
This arrangement uses one or more capacitor(s) to provide a constant level
of compensation. Control may be:
bb Manual: by circuit-breaker or load-break switch
bb Semi-automatic: by contactor
bb Direct connection to an appliance and switched with it.
These capacitors are installed:
bb At the terminals of inductive loads (mainly motors)
bb At busbars supplying numerous small motors and inductive appliances for which
individual compensation would be too costly
bb In cases where the load factor is reasonably constant.
Automatic compensation
This kind of compensation provides automatic control and adapts the quantity of
reactive power to the variations of the installation in order to maintain the targeted
cos φ. The equipment is installed at points in an installation where the active-power
and/or reactive-power variations are relatively large, for example:
bb on the busbars of a main distribution switchboard
bb on the terminals of a heavily-loaded feeder cable.
Where the kvar rating of the capacitors is less than or equal to 15% of the power
supply transformer rating, a fixed value of compensation is appropriate. Above the
15% level, it is advisable to install an automatically-controlled capacitor bank.
Control is usually provided by an electronic device (Power Factor Controller) which
monitors the actual power factor and orders the connection or disconnection of
capacitors in order to obtain the targeted power factor. The reactive energy is thus
controlled by steps. In addition, the Power Factor Controller provides information on
the network characteristics (voltage amplitude and distortion, power factor, actual
active and reactive power…) and equipment status. Alarm signals are transmitted in
case of malfunction.
Connection is usually provided by contactors. For compensation of highly fluctuating
loads use of active filters or Electronic Var Compensators (EVC) are recommened.
Contact Schneider Electric for electronic compensation solutions.
Dynamic compensation
This kind of compensation is required when fluctuating loads are present, and
voltage fluctuations have to be prevented. The principle of dynamic compensation is
to associate a fixed capacitor bank and an electronic var compensator, providing
either leading or lagging reactive currents.
The result is continuously varying fast compensation, perfectly suitable for loads
such as lifts, crushers, spot welding, etc.

compensation
Step 4: Allowance for operating conditions and harmonics

Capacitors should be selected depending on the working conditions expected during
their lifetime.
Allowing for operating conditions

The operating conditions have a great influence on the life expectancy of capacitors.
The following parameters should be taken into account:
bb Ambient Temperature (°C)
bb Expected over-current, related to voltage disturbances, including maximum
sustained overvoltage
bb Maximum number of switching operations/year
bb Required life expectancy.
Our Power Factor Correction equipment are not suitable for a use in an environment
with an explosive atmosphere (ATEX).
Allowing for harmonics

Impact of harmonics on capacitors
Some loads (variable speed motors, static converters, welding machines, arc
furnaces, fluorescent lamps, etc.) pollute the electrical network by reinjecting
harmonics.
To take account of the effects of the harmonics on the capacitors, the type of
compensation equipment must be correctly determined:
Gh / Sn ≤ 15% ≤ 25% ≤ 50%

VarSet Easy VarSet VarSet
Range "no polluted network" "low polluted network" "polluted network"
Choosing equipment according to the harmonic pollution level

Equipment can be chosen:
bb Either theoretically from the Gh/Sn ratio if the data is available.
Gh: apparent power of harmonic-generating loads (variable speed motors, static
converters, power electronics, etc).
Sn: apparent power of the transformer.
The Gh/Sn rule is valid for a THD(I) of all the harmonic generators < 30% and for a
pre-existing THD(U) < 2%.
If these values are exceeded, a harmonic analysis of the network or measurements
are required.
Example 1:
U = 400 V, P = 300 kW, Sn = 800 kVA, Gh = 150 kVA
Gh/Sn = 18.75% φ VarSet "low polluted network" equipment
Example 2:
U = 400 V, P = 100 kW, Sn = 800 kVA, Gh = 300 kVA
Gh/Sn = 37.5% φ VarSet "polluted network" equipment
bb Or from the total harmonic current distortion THD(I) measured at the transformer
secondary, at full load and without capacitors:

compensation
bb If both THD(I) and THD(U) are measured and do not result in the same type
of power factor correction, the most rigorous solution must be chosen.
Example:
A measurement gives:
bb THD(I) = 15% VarSet "polluted network" solution
bb THD(U) = 3.5% VarSet "low polluted network" solution
The VarSet "polluted network" solution must be chosen.
General
The purpose of the detuned reactors (DR) is to prevent the harmonics present on
the network from being amplified and to protect the capacitors (this corresponds
to our VarSet "polluted network" range). They must be connected in series with
the capacitors.
Caution: as the detuned reactors generate an overvoltage at the capacitor terminals,
capacitors of at least 480 V must be used for a 400 V network.
Technical data
bb Choice of tuning
The tuning frequency fr corresponds to the resonance frequency of the L-C assembly.
fr = 1 / (2 √LC)
We also speak of tuning order n.
For a 50 Hz network, we have:
n = fr / 50 Hz
bb The tuning order chosen must ensure that the harmonic current spectrum range is
outside the resonance frequency.
bb It is also important to ensure that no remote-control frequencies are disturbed.
The most common tuning orders are 3, 8 or 4.3 (2.7 is used for 3rd order harmonics).

Fixed power factor correction for transformer

A transformer consumes a reactive power that can be determined approximately
by adding:
bb a fixed part that depends on the magnetising off-load current lo:
Qo = I0 x Un x √3
bb a part that is proportional to the square of the apparent power that it conveys:
Q = Usc S²/Sn
Usc: short-circuit voltage of the transformer in p.u.
S: apparent power conveyed by the transformer
Sn: apparent nominal power of the transformer
Un: nominal phase-to-phase voltage
The total reactive power consumed by the transformer is: Qt = Qo + Q.
If this correction is of the individual type, it can be performed at the actual terminals
of the transformer.
If this correction is performed globally with load correction on the busbar of the main

The cos φ of motors is normally very poor off-load and when slightly loaded,
and poor in normal operating conditions. Installation of capacitors is therefore
recommended for this type of load. The table opposite gives, by way of an example,
the values for capacitor bank power in kVAr to be installed according to motor power.

When a motor drives a high inertia load, it may, after breaking of supply voltage,
continue to rotate using its kinetic energy and be self-excited by a capacitor bank
mounted at its terminals.The capacitors supply the reactive energy required for it to
operate in asynchronous generator mode. Such self-excitation results in voltage
holding and sometimes in high overvoltages.
Correction requirements of asynchronous motors

bb Case of mounting capacitors at the motor terminals
To avoid dangerous overvoltages caused by the self-excitation phenomenon,
you must ensure that capacitor bank power verifies the following equation:
Qc ≤ 0,9 √3 Un I0

bb Case of parallel-mounting of capacitors with separate operating mechanism
To avoid dangerous overvoltages due to self-excitation or in cases in which the
motor starts by means of special switchgear (resistors, reactors,autotransformers),
the capacitors will only be switched after starting.
Likewise, the capacitors must be disconnected before the motor is de-energised.
In this case, motor reactive power can be fully corrected on full load.
Caution: if several banks of this type are connected in the same network, inrush

Required Q Required Q Definition of an automatic bank
The 3 items of data defining an automatic capacitor bank are the following:
bb The power in kVAr that will result from calculations made and depend on
the objective cos φ to be maintained in the installation.
bb The nominal voltage that must always be equal to or greater than the grid voltage.
1.1.1 t 1.2.2 t bb The bank regulation indicating the physical staging of the bank.
Fig. 14 Staging 1.1.1.1 and 1.2.2.2. Physical control

The staging or physical regulation of an automatic bank indicates the composition
and number of capacitor-contactor assemblies it contains.
Normally, this is expressed as the relation between the power of the first stage and
Electric the remainder of the stages.
regulation
Example:
Physical Bank rated at 70 kVAr, formed of the following power stages:
regulation
10 + 20 + 20 + 20, with regulation of 1.2.2.2, whilst the first stage has half the power
of the other stages.
Another bank rated at 70 kVAr, formed of the following power stages:
7 stages of 10 kVAr, producing regulation 1.1.1.1.
We can see in Fig. 14, the action of the two regulating batteries 1.1.1.1 and 1.2.2.2.:
as shown in the example.
Adjustment to meet the reactive demands of the two batteries will be in exactly the
Fig. 15 In a properly chosen bank, a balance between same way that is by keeping two separate regulation systems
electric and physical regulation must exist.
Electric regulation
Electrical control represents how the power is adjusted in a capacitor bank.
In the previous example, the electrical control of both banks is the same (7 × 10).
It means that adjustments to meet the reactive need will be exactly the same, even
if the physical steps in each bank are different.
Properly chosen bank

From the standpoint of the price of the equipment, the more physical stages offered
by a bank, the more expensive it will be and the more capacitor-contactor
assemblies there will be and the bigger the overall size of the assembly.
From the standpoint of adjusting to the target cos φ, the lower the electrical
regulation, the better it will adapt to variations of installation of reactive power
demands.
Nevertheless, a carefully chosen bank must offer a balance between electrical and
physical regulation.
Varlogic controllers offer up to 7 separate regulation adjustments that optimize the
cost of the equipment, while offering optimum regulation finesse.
Example:
A bank rated at 70 kVAr, formed of 3 power stages: 10 + 20 + 40 (regulation 1.2.4),
offers the same electric regulation as the previous example, but at a lower cost than
the 7x10 since it contains only three contactor-capacitor assemblies.
Controller
Programming a controller
The data to be programmed into a controller on start up include the following
bb desired cos φ of the installation,
bb C/K relationship.
These data are unique to each installation and cannot be programmed in the factory.

For the controller to be able to reach the decision of connecting or disconnecting a
given stage, it has to know what the reactive current to be input into the installation is
Fig. 16 Interpretation of the C/K adjustment going to be and this current must be referred to the secondary the current

The method of programming this value, known as the C/K ratio, is given below:
Q /√3 x U
C/K = 1
RTI
where:
Q1= reactive power of the first stage (VAR).
U = Voltage FF.
RTI = CT relationship (X/5).
Example:
Bank rated at 70 kVAr, formed of the following power stages: 10 + 20 + 40.
The installation is connected in which the main protection circuit breaker is 630 A.
The CT to be installed will be 700/5 and the C/K calculation will be:
C/K = 10 x 1000/(√3 x 400) / 700 / 5 = 0,10.
The importance of correctly adjusting the C/K

To understand the importance of adjusting the C/K correctly, we must bear in mind
that every bank has a minimum defined staging system (determined by the power
of the first stage).
For this reason, the bank will be unable to adjust to the desired cos φ unless the demands
of the installation correspond exactly to said value, or to a multiple of that value.
Example:
Bank rated at 70 kVAr, formed of the following power stages: 10 + 20 + 40.
The objective cos φ programmed into the controller is = 1.
The installation data at any given moment:
P = 154 kW
cos φ = 0.97
so that the reactive Q needed to achieve the target cos φ will be:
Q = P x (tg φinitial - tg φtarget) = 154 x (0.25 - 0) = 38.5 kVAr
Since the electrical staging of the bank is 7x10 kVAr, the bank will fluctuate
constantly between 30 and 40 kVAr.
To avoid this unstable operation, we need to adjust C/K.
Interpretation of C/K adjustment

In Fig. 16 we see the significance of the C/K adjustment:
bb The X axis represents the active current of the installation and the Y axis the reactive
current (inductive in the positive half plane and capacitive in the negative half plane).
bb This graph can represent any situation for the installation cos φ. As being the
coordinates of a point (X,Y) related to three active and reactive current components.
bb The diagram shows the line representing tg φ, in which φ is the angle for the
desired cos φ.
bb As seen previously, the bank cannot be adjusted exactly to the reactivity man,
prevailing at every moment during installation, which is why we create a stable
controller operating band in which we know that the cos φ will not be exactly as
desired, and where more stages will not be connected or disconnected.
bb This band is the C/K; what is more, the controller will be connecting stages above
this C/K band and disconnecting them below it.
Adjusting the C/K too low will mean the pointless overworking of the contactors but a
C/K that is too high and is liable to produce an excessively wide stable band but
without reaching the desired cos φ.
bb Regulators control the possibility of automatically adjusting the C/K under any
installation load condition.
This manual adjustment makes it possible to use values of C/K from 0.01 to 1.99
while viewing the set value on the screen.

Harmonics are usually defined by two main characteristics:
bb Their amplitude:
value of the harmonic voltage or current.
+ bb Their order:
value of their frequency with respect to the fundamental frequency (50 Hz).
Under such conditions, the frequency of a 5th order harmonic is five times greater
than the fundamental frequency, i.e. 5 x 50 Hz = 250 Hz.
The root mean square value

The rms value of a distorted wave is obtained by calculating the quadratic sum of the
different values of the wave for all the harmonic orders that exist for this wave:
Rms value of I:
I (A) = √ I12 + I22 + … + In2
The rms value of all the harmonic components is deduced from this calculation:
Fig. 17 Decomposition of a distorted wave.
Ih (A) = √ I22 + … + In2
This calculation shows one of the main effects of harmonics, i.e. the increased rms
100 current passing through an installation, due to the harmonic components with which
90 a distorted wave is associated.

70 Usually, the switchgear and cables or the busbar trunking of the installation is
60 defined from the rated current at the fundamental frequency; all these installation
50 components are not designed to withstand excessive harmonic current.

bb The total harmonic current distortion [THD(I)] determining the current wave
distortion and the ratio of the sum of the harmonic currents to the fundamental
frequency current, expressed as a %.
bb The frequency spectrum (TFT) is a diagram that gives the magnitude of each
harmonic according to its order.
By studying it, we can determine which harmonics are present and their respective
magnitude.
Interharmonics
Interharmonics are sinusoidal components with frequencies that are not integral
multiples of the fundamental frequency (and therefore situated between the
harmonics). They are the result of periodic or random variations of the power
absorbed by different loads such as arc furnaces, welding machines and
frequency converters (variable speed drives, cycloconvertors).

Appendix Causes and effects
of harmonics
V= I=
Harmonic generators
V= I= Harmonics are generally produced by non-linear loads which, although powered
by a sinusoidal voltage, absorb a non-sinusoidal current.
In short, non-linear loads are considered to behave as current sources that inject
harmonics into the network.
The most common non-linear harmonic loads are those found in devices fed by
power electronics, such as variable speed drives, rectifiers, converters, etc.
Loads such as saturable reactors, welding equipment, arc furnaces etc. also
inject harmonics.
Other loads have a linear behaviour and do not generate harmonics: inductors,
resistors and capacitors.
Fig. 21 Linear loads such as inductors, capacitors
and resistors do not generate harmonics.
Main harmonic sources

V= I= We differentiate between these loads, according to whether they are used for
industrial or residential applications:
V= I= bb Industrial loads:
vv power electronics devices: variable speed drives, rectifiers, UPS, etc.
vv loads using an electric arc: arc furnaces, welding machines, lighting (fluorescent
lamps, etc.); harmonics (temporary) are also generated when motors are started
with an electronic starter and when power transformers come into service.
bb Residential loads: TVs, microwave ovens, induction plates, computers, printers,
fluorescent lamps, etc.
The following table is a guide to the various loads with information on the injected

Appendix Causes and effects
of harmonics
The effects of harmonics on loads

The following two types of effects appear in the main equipment: immediate or
short-term effects and long-term effects.
Immediate or short-term effects:
bb Unwanted tripping of protection devices,
bb Induced interference from LV current systems (remote control,
telecommunications),
bb Abnormal vibrations and noise,
Fig. 23 Cables. Fig. 24 Induction furnace. bb Damage due to capacitor thermal overload,
bb Faulty operation of non-linear loads.
Long-term effects associated with current overload that causes overheating and
premature deterioration of the equipment.
Affected devices and effects:
bb Power capacitors:
vv additional losses and overheating,
vv fewer possibilities of use at full load,
vv vibrations and mechanical wear,
vv acoustic disComfort.
bb Motors:
vv fewer possibilities of use at full load,
vv vibrations and mechanical wear,
bb Transformers:
vv mechanical vibrations,
Fig. 25 Propivar capacitor. Fig. 26 VarplusCan capacitor. vv automatic switch:
vv unwanted tripping due to the peak current being exceeded.
bb Cables:
vv additional dielectric and chemical losses, especially on the neutral, when 3rd order
harmonics are present,
vv overheating.
bb Computers:
vv functional disruptions causing data losses or faulty operation of control equipment.
bb Power electronics:
vv waveform interference: switching, synchronisation, etc.
